Stop looking for hand outs, pick yourself up by the bootstrap ;)Got news for you ... I'm eligible for SS disability and DON'T take any handouts. I live on my retirement that I earned.

I also earned the SS should I choose to get it. Been paying since 1976. I don't take what I don't earn. If I could work, my ass sure as hell wouldn't be on this board as much as I am.

That's a nasty thing to say, especially to someone who obviously EARNED his retirement. It ain't like he's sitting on his dead ass begging for a fucking hand out.

I think you owe him and any other service connected disabled veteran or lifer retired, and anyone who's paid practically their entire adult working life into SS. None of them are getting or begging for a fucking HAND OUT. They EARNED it, or PAID INTO IT and it's THEIR MONEY.

It really ticks me off every time I hear some little pencil neck puke out that crap. I hope your little smilie face means you were JOKING.

​Its Not a hand out....just hard earned money acquired over the long years of hard work which a portion is given back as agreed...I know your joking pete but just wanted to emphasize the fact. ;)
